Bakugo
(These next few parts contain descriptions of depression, a suicide attempt, and lots and lots of tears. I'm so sorry if that makes you uncomfortable. In case you didn't notice Bakugo is actually narrating this part.)
This was not what I was expecting.
The tears.
The hospital.
The pain.
The blood.
Nothing could've prepared me for what happened.
It was on the news.
I don't remember it much, though.
In case you forgot who I am, I'm Katsuki Bakugo.
The next #1 hero.
The best student at U.A.
The lucky person with the best girlfriend in the world.
The boy trying in vain to hide his shattered soul.

I was working out in my room when my phone started ringing. It had been a couple hours since that stupid nerd Deku, Round Face, Frog, Hikari, and Kirishima went on their stupid mission that they couldn't even tell us about. I cursed under my breath, stopped lifting my weights, and glanced at my phone.
Wait, why is Mr. Aizawa calling me? I thought, confused. I thought he didn't like calling us.
I answered the phone and said, "What the he** do you want?"
"I know you and Kazenikura are dating," he said the moment I was done talking.
"Yeah, so? What are you gonna do about it?"
"I'm not doing anything about it," he said. "I just wanted you to come to the hospital if you can because she's really hurt right now."
That got my attention. "Yes, sir, I'll be there right away," I said, pulling on my shoes and racing out of the building.
Panic began rising in me as I ran towards the hospital building. Was she dying?
When I got there I was gasping for breath, but I hardly noticed because I was so focused on trying to find where Hikari was.
I ran down the hallway of the hospital, glancing into each of the rooms as I ran by. Where was Hikari?
Finally, when I passed a room, I skidded to a halt and took a few steps back to look back into the room I had just passed. There was a boy with red hair laying on a hospital bed covered in bandages.
I knocked on the door, slowly opened it, and walked over to the boy. "Kiri?" I whispered, staring at all the bandages covering my friend.
He didn't respond to me in any way, but I sat there for about 5 minutes staring at his bandaged face and wondering where the person was that beat him up so I could kill them. Eventually, I said goodbye and was about to leave when his weak voice said, "Baku... go...?"
I instantly rushed back to him, surprised that his ruby eyes were open. "Kiri?" I said, my eyes wide.
He smiled faintly. "Hey, bro..." He followed that up with closing his eyes and muttering, "Ow..."
"You should rest," I said, turning away. "Whatever happened to you must've been bad."
"Okay, I will," Kirishima said. "But... what about everyone else...?"
